In this episode of Golden State Hoop, Brian and Garrett Gonzales face the music regarding the Golden State Warriors' middling performance and the massive dates looming for the franchise's future.
🏀 The Jonathan Kuminga Trade Clock
The guys start with the biggest date on the calendar: January 15th. With Kuminga officially becoming trade-eligible, the front office faces a franchise-altering decision. Is it time to move on from the former lottery pick to maximize Steph Curry’s window? We break down the potential suitors and the internal friction regarding his role in Steve Kerr's rotation.
📉 The .500 Reality Check
After a rollercoaster start to the 2025-26 season, the Warriors find themselves stuck at average. Brian and Garrett have a "moment of clarity"—are the Warriors actually a playoff threat, or just a mediocre team living on past glory?
🏐 WNBA CBA & The "Status Quo"
Shifting to the Golden State Valkyries and the broader WNBA landscape, we discuss the January 9th CBA deadline. With no new deal in sight, the league is entering a "status quo" period. What does this mean for free agency and the Valkyries' inaugural roster construction? We also look at the kickoff of Unrivaled Season 2 and how the 3-on-3 league is keeping the stars sharp during these tense negotiations.
